@Lena S. under those circumstances I would be looking to remove the tenants.

Also since you're in CA this is going to be expensive (800 min) regardless of where your properties are.Generally speaking (this isn't advice, rather observation) unless you have a unique circumstance most people don't go the LLC route.

I'm not trying to be flippant or funny, I'm just telling you how they treated me in a similar circumstance.

Everyone has a different set of circumstances.  

One caveat is that when you personally work on a property you can in certain circumstances lose the LLC protection. 

Again, I don't know their circumstances so I will not give advice but suffice to say this is probably something you will want to look into. 

Unless he is keeping impeccable books, which I doubt based on the circumstances, whose to say he isn't skimming?

You can revoke your S-crop anytime you want, but are not allowed to reelect for 5 years, but IRS lets you reelect under certain circumstances.

Sometimes people don't relist at all because of a change in circumstances.
